Ok I have been watching the price of lamb come down a bit, and picked up a 6+ lb. Greenwise boneless leg of lamb from Publix.
I unwrapped it from the netting & rolled it out. I trimmed all the extra fat & silver skin out & covered it in Chimichurri sauce. Coated both sides really well & let it rest in the fridge overnight in a zip lock bag.. We had some neighbors coming over for dinner, about 8 people. So I wanted to get this right. After I took it out of the bag I rolled & tied it up & put it on a spit for the SM roti. Here are a few pics!
Here it is fresh from the store.
I opened it up & did some trimming.
This is about all the trimming it needed.
Next I made a Chimichurri (SPELLING) sauce to coat it with, and coated both sides.
Then into a plastic bag & into the fridge over night.
Here is the recipe!
1 bunch of parsley
5 mint leaves +or- to taste
3 sprigs chopped rosemary
2-3 sprigs oregano
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
2 whole shallots chopped
1 tsp red wine
EVOO until covered
Next get the SM fired up with some charcoal. Just going to use the charcoal as a coal bed & cook the lamb with a combo of hickory & oak.
I re rolled & tied the leg & now it's time to put the leg on the spit.
Then onto the SM .
It only took a little over 2 hours to get to 135, which is where I pulled it at, then tented it on the counter & it easily cruised up to 140. I used that rosemary sprig to baste it with. I just basted it with the extra juices from the pan when I put it on the grill.
I'm sorry I didn't get any sliced pics, but I had 8 hungry people around me wanting to eat. I almost didn't post this because I didn't have any finished shots.
We had it with a Greek salad & garlic mashed potatoes.
My friends just devoured this thing & the only photo I have is the next day when we made some gyros with the leftovers. Of course Judy made homemade pita bread.
And I nuked the lamb & added some taziki (spelling) sauce. It was still real juicy & tender, although the nuking it did over cook it a bit, but it was still good.
Thanks for looking guys. I will definitely do this again. I'm hoping around Easter lamb will go on sale again. Or I may have to drive up to Sam's & see what they have.
